RUMOURS: Inter Milan expressed an interest in signing Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge on loan until the end of the season. It is believed the Reds are keen on offloading Sturridge permanently, but the Italian club have told Liverpool they can’t afford the £30m asking price.

IN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE: Sam Hart has moved on loan from Blackburn to Rochdale. The young left back signed for Blackburn in the summer, but has only made seven appearances this season. Colchester United have made the loan signing of Brandon Comley permanent. He joined the U’s on loan in summer, but both QPR and the League Two side were keen on agreeing a permanent deal.

FINALLY: As widely reported yesterday, Theo Walcott’s move from Arsenal to Everton was confirmed. The winger signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at the Toffees, and became their second addition this transfer window.
